Implementation guide
FreeRADIUS ISP Billing and Subscriber Management
FreeRADIUS is a flexible AAA engine. ISPbills adds the customer, commercial and operator workflows needed to manage it as part of a subscriber service.
Use the interface and documentation together.
The capture below shows the related ISPbills product area. Follow the linked documentation for current fields and prerequisites, then validate the exact device, provider, software version, failure path and rollback before production use.
Plan the complete path, not one isolated setting.
Connect FreeRADIUS authentication and accounting to ISP subscriber packages, payment state, sessions and support workflows. Confirm the exact device, software version, provider contract and failure behavior in a representative environment before production rollout.
Define the data source
Choose how subscriber credentials and attributes are stored and updated.
Register access clients
Maintain NAS addresses, secrets and device ownership consistently.
Observe decisions
Retain authentication and accounting evidence that support teams can connect to a subscriber.
Prove the boundaries before automating them.
Record expected results, failure signals, the person who can approve a change, and the rollback path. Product support depends on the deployed architecture and integration version.

Implementation answers
Is FreeRADIUS billing software?
No. FreeRADIUS is an AAA server. ISPbills connects it to billing, payment and subscriber workflows.
Can ISPbills manage RADIUS attributes?
Yes. Supported workflows expose NAS and subscriber attribute management through the administration interface.
Should RADIUS logs contain passwords?
No. Secrets and credentials should be protected and excluded from routine logs and support exports.
Bring the actual routers, access design, billing rules and failure cases.
